Last night, HBO aired the documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and The Prison of Belief," which we at The Frisky have been excitedly awaiting since first hearing about it, as we are giant nerds about knowing everything there is to know about Scientology. In fact, Amelia helped research the book Inside Scientology by Janet Reitman! And, although Robyn's only direct experience with the group was the...

A few weeks ago, I got my hands on a copy of a stretch workout DVD called Lastics (yeah, I still use DVDs, I’m a rube). I’m not super-inflexible - I’ve done my fair share of yoga, I can touch the floor with straight legs, and I’ve always wanted to be more human-pretzel-y. But oh my god, guys. Oh my god. The first time I went through this Lastics DVD, I experienced pain like I haven’t felt...

Meet Trevor Noah, your newly-announced host of "The Daily Show." He's a wickedly funny comedian with a lot of experience and a very-necessary and refreshing take on race. If you’re a comedy nerd, you probably know who this man is. If you’re not, here’s what you need to know.
1. He was born into apartheid in South Africa.
Born to a black South African mother and a white European father in 1984,...

Lelo's Siri 2 is a delightful little gem made to bring musical magic to your sex life by pulsing in time with the songs of your choice. It looks like a tiny remote control, sized to fit perfectly in the grip of your hand (or elsewhere on your bod). When I first pulled it out of the box, marveling over its light-up buttons and sifting through vibration settings, I was thrilled to give it a try....

By now, you've probably read that the Germanwings Airbus A320 that crashed in the Alps earlier this week was deliberately brought down by co-pilot Andreas Lubitz (above). French prosecutors say that voice recorder evidence indicates that Lubitz, 28, locked the other pilot out of the cockpit and steered the plane to its descent; his breathing -- and the screams of passengers -- can be heard on the recorder,...

North West isn't even 2-years-old yet, but she already leads a posh it-girl lifestyle and keeps company with the likes of Beyonce and Anna Wintour. Sure, she always leaves the house impeccably dressed, but her real secret is the essence she brings to her clothes. She's all about embracing the classics with her own occasional edgy twist. Her parents are happy to style her, but who says super-baby...

Tuesday night, CNN aired a special on Atheism, called "Atheism: Inside The World Of Non-Believers." I watched it, and, as a "non-believer," I was not particularly amused. First of all, they called Richard Dawkins the "Father of Atheism," which is 32 flavors of ridiculous, and second, the whole thing really seemed to portray atheists as having the same kind of factions as religious people -- nice people...

Last week, I wrote about knowing and accepting when it's time to move on. I've been getting that itch lately, telling me that it is time to leave the Big Island of Hawaii. I know that I don't really have any other choice but to scratch it and say "see ya later." Though, as nature would have it, actually doing so has proven to be incredibly challenging. It's never easy to leave a place (or a person)...

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" hits theaters in less than two weeks. Sob! Must the saga come to an end?! This awesome lightning bolt necklace is the perfect accessory for a midnight screening, and unlike, say, a floor-length Gryffindor robe, it's subtle enough to wear to work the day after. Plus, it'll… More »

"I toggled on manslaughter and not guilty. It doesn't feel good. It was a horrible decision to have to make. I did not say she was innocent. I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be ... Everyone wonders why… More »

Men are hard enough to understand when they're telling the truth, nearly impossible when they're lying. There are some common lies dudes tell us, usually because they think they will spare our feelings. Eh, not so much. Ladies are quick on the uptake when it comes to subtext. Better off to just tell the truth,… More »

The Situation may have quit "Jersey Shore." He was seen storming off the Seaside Heights set, telling photographers, "It’s over" and "Say goodbye to the bad guy." Vinny allegedly quit the show earlier this week, too. But look on the bright side: more camera time for Snooki! [The Superficial] Oprah says she'll move… More »

UPDATE: After calculating time served and good behavior, it was determined that Casey Anthony only has six days left to serve in her four year sentence and will be released next Wednesday, July 13. Oof. [CNN] Casey Anthony, who was acquitted on Tuesday of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008, wa… More »

As you slog your way through the myriad not-yet-April Fools' Day pranks that plague this nation, revel in this: no one has ever pranked someone better than Michael Jackson pranked Russell Crowe, and he did it for years. In an interview with The Guardian, Crowe revealed that despite having never met Jackson,…
